The Children's Center

Thank you for your interest in The Children's Center at First Congregational Church, Hudson's only Christian full-day and half-day childcare and preschool. We encourage growing independence through play-based, hands-on experiences, social emotional learning and developmentally appropriate programs for two- to five-year-olds. We can't wait to meet your little learner!
